According to a statement of the Commission, the new measures create a common European data space, which is a key element of the Digital Single Market strategy.

The framework will enable the free movement of data within the European Union (EU) for companies, public administrations and citizens in four key elements, said the Commission.

First vans old skool black australia , it supports the proper functioning of the internal market by ensuring the free movement of non-personal data within the bloc. Second, it ensures that competent authorities have access to data stored or processed in another member state in order to be able to perform their tasks in line with their regulatory mandate.

Third, it encourages the development of self-regulatory codes of conduct in order to make it easier to switch cloud service providers. Last, it establishes a single point of contact per member state to liaise with other member states' contact points and the Commission to ensure the effective application of the new rules on the free flow of non-personal data.

Removing data localisation restrictions is considered the most important factor for the data economy to unlock its full potential, and to grow up to 739 billion euros (885 billion U.S. dollars) in 2020 vans old skool australia , said the statement, while current data localisation restrictions by member states' public authorities and obstacles to the movement of data across IT systems prevent business and organisations in the EU from capturing economic, social and business opportunities.

Notably, the new framework for the free movement of non-personal data complements already existing legislation for personal data which will enter into application on May 25, 2018 puma suede heart satin australia , which means a high level of protection for personal data will be ensured, said the Commission.

Besides, the framework only covers data mobility within the bloc and it primarily affects businesses and business users of data storage of other processing services, or individuals acting in professional capacity.

BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- For years China's education system has been chastised for its exam-driven curriculum, focusing only on memorizing textbooks and getting good test scores.

But sweeping new changes to the national college entrance exam, the single most important test of a student's high school career, will see an emphasis on all-around development in pursuit of the country's untapped talent.

The college entrance exam puma basket heart australia , also known as gaokao, has been called a single-log bridge to success, the only way for youth to obtain a promising career beyond vocational training.

It's also considered a baton between the country's primary and secondary education, with preparation for the test beginning as early as six or seven years old.

This year alone more than 9.4 million students sat for the national exam in June. With limited slots for university education, competition for entrance into higher education institutions is cutthroat and heavily reliant on test scores from the gaokao.

As a result fenty puma slippers australia , students are often trained to focus only on test scores, memorizing endless lists of textbook answers instead developing a sense of independent and innovative thinking.

A plan announced Thursday by the Ministry of Education hopes to broaden the scope with a more comprehensive evaluation system for college enrollment and more choice for students.

Apart from the mandatory subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, candidates under the new system, will be allowed to choose three others among political science puma creepers velvet australia , history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology, depending on personal interest and college enrollment requirements.
